Is a school bell dated 1883 Lakeside Foundry of Chicago a real antique?

Yes. Your bell was manufactured for Montgomery Ward, the giant mail order retailer, around the date marked, but probably not by "Lakeside Foundry of Chicago." Lakeside is a Ward's brand that was used to identify many different types of merchandise -- from guns to records -- manufactured for Montgomery Ward by well-known companies. Ward had a policy prohibiting their suppliers from placing their own brand name on products made for Ward. The origin of your bell is uncertain; however, there has been some speculation that at least some of them were made by C. S. Bell, of Hillsboro, OH. There are no contemporary imitations of that product. Lakeside Foundry of Chicago was actually located in Erie, PA, but was owned and operated by Montgomery Ward (of Chicago) c. 1904-1920, which is much later than the date on your bell. The Pennsylvania foundry made cast iron stoves and related items.


When was a bell marked No 420 Lakeside Foundry of Chicago manufactured?

Lakeside Foundry of Chicago was a brand name of Montgomery Ward & Co., but the bells were manufactured by outside companies. Ward opened the real "Lakeside Foundry of Chicago" in Erie, PA, around 1904 and used it to manufacture cast iron stoves and related items until approximately 1920. To the best of my knowledge, none of the bells were made in that location. If your bell is undated, but says Lakeside Foundry of Chicago on the yolk, it may have been manufactured sometime after 1886 (those and earlier editions were apparently dated). If the bell is stamped "Crystal Metal" inside, there's a good chance it was manufactured by C. S. Bell Co., of Hillsboro, OH, sometime between 1887 and the mid 1890s. Other possibilities, beginning in 1895, would be the Globe Furniture foundry, which was consolidated with American Bell & Foundry in 1899. An AM or AMB stamp anywhere in or on the bell would indicate it was manufactured sometime between 1899 and c. 1920, with the greatest production years around the turn of the century, c. 1900-1905. Wards generally didn't allow their suppliers to include maker's marks, however, so lack of notation doesn't rule anything out. The estimated value of the bell is $100-$300, depending on condition.


Where can you find information about a cast iron cook-stove marked Amazon Windsor 8 20 3 Lakeside Foundry Chicago Ill?

You are probably talking about a Glorious Windsor stove manufactured by Lakeside Foundry of Chicago, a company owned and operated by Montgomery Ward between c. 1904 and c. 1920. The foundry was actually located in Erie, PA, not Chicago, but the headquarters was listed at 618 W. Chicago St., the address of the Montgomery Ward Catalogue House. 101 A is a model number, not an address. Depending on the condition of the stove, its value is approximately $175 - $300. If the stove is in excellent condition, you may want to have it appraised before selling (if that's your intention). For more information, see Related Questions and Related Links, below.
